Wow. The Lams return. Absolutely poor performance by the players & coaches. I want to single out Sammy Watkins tho. He is just like Mike Wallace, who I would always complain about trying to catch balls w/out extending his hands. So a defender just has to get in the way of a ball & there’s no chance for a completion. Plus Watkins had a SU drop for a TD as well. Gurley also had issues catching all gm. LA really wilted under the spotlight. Bortles looked like Bortles blowing that spread for me, while TEN pulled off the improbable w/a 18 pt comeback in 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] half. LA also murdered by teaser, which is why I should’ve obeyed one of my main tenets of not putting POW in my teaser.

Playoffs POW 0-1, Teasers 0-1, Overall 1-3.

MIN -5 has been very good to bettors in recent yrs covering 71% ATS. I was the lucky recipient of a bunch of those, going back to when Favre was slinging it in MIN’s last NFC championship appearance. Obviously that’s not an indicator to go all in vs the hot Saints, but there’s a reason behind it. They play consistently good “D” & don’t make many mistakes in all 3 phases. NOR lost here in Wk 1, but are a far different team now w/improvements in run gm & on “D”. But I believe MIN is driven here, not only for Keenum & Latavius to prove they’re legitimate players in this league, but for MIN in general, who have endured painful PO exits dating back to that NFC championship gm against NOR. I believe they get over the hump not only here, but to also go on to the SB.

NOR 20
MIN 30
4 Units

GL to all & comments are most welcome.

Honorable Mentions:

1 Unit PHI +2 ½: Going against ATL again here, as the public is pounding the Falcons after they blasted the Lams last wk. I’m going to continue w/my grueling rd trend working against ATL considering they went thru absolute battles their last 6 gms w/3 of those on the rd. How long can this “D” last? PHI’s “D” is very good & has a decent enough run gm to help take pressure off Foles.

1 Unit TEN +13 ½: Funny how I was telling everyone I knew that regardless of who TEN faces, I’m going against them based on how awful their “O” has looked. Once I saw the advantages TEN had over KC last wk, I took the plunge there. I’m doing it again, based on Mariota’s drive & banking on TEN learning from the mistakes that killed them @ KC. The key to beating NE is pressuring Brady. Casey, Woodyard, Morgan & Orakpo can bring that, so if TEN’s secondary (big IF) can slow down NE’s receivers, including Gronk, then TEN should be able to keep this close.

2 Unit Wormy Teaser:

PHI +15 ½
ATL/PHI Under 53
TEN +26 ½
PIT +6

I'm so lucky. My dumb teaser was on life support for both TEN & PIT gms. Last minute TDs saved both.

Bad calls early against TEN & PIT being terribly coached almost made me lose my mind this weekend!

Agreed, Tomlin needs to go. Too many talents on that roster...it's shameful

YES.

Tomlin esp. That fool rode Cowher's team for as long as possible, & now they can't beat NE or JAX!
